William White                   d. 10/7/1844                     WALKER COUNTY, GEORGIA

 

He enlisted in October 1779 at the Union District, South Carolina, in Captain Joseph McJunkin's Company of the South Carolina Militia commanded by Colonel Thomas Brandon, and transferred to Captain Samuel Otterson's Company.  He later served under Captains Joshua Palmer, Benjamin Jolly, and Joseph Hughes in the Militia commanded by Colonel Thomas Brandon and General Andrew Pickens.  He was at the Battle of Eutaw Springs. His children received a pension for his services.

 

Buried: White's Cemetery, La Fayette, Georgia. "…From the Villanow brick store on the Calhoun - Reseca Sugar Valley Road, go east about one mile. The cemetery cannot be seen from road.  Turn left on a small dirt road and go about 100 feet before it can be seen."

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
